To be fair, we beat no one of note out of conference and our program has not yet earned the right for any special consideration. Saint Joe's also had the advantage of playing two additional games via the Hall of Fame Tip-Off and probably helps even if it subconscious. Just beat Saint Louis and show them we belong - that is what winners do!

This OOC thing is a two edged sword. On the one side, people like us have complained for years that the big boys play cream puff OOC schedules. A few years back, the committee indicated they would start to consider that more. Now, on the other side, we it may be held against us. I won't complain about the edge to St. Joe's on that basis, but I will be disgruntled of a bigger name gets in with a similar resume as out boys'.

For the record, sarcasm not directed at Dunga.
Just a general annoyance with the anti Lunardi thing that seems to have been going on for weeks. And I even think that he has undervalued Bona, but I do not see it as a personal slight, some kind of effort to get St. Joes a higher seed, nor will it have the slightest effect on Bona making the tournament.
Beat St. Louis and I think this team is in and deserve to be there. Lose, then it's back to the drawing board before the conference tournament. I think that is fair. Our RPI does suggest we should be in a more stable position, but most of the bubble team resumes have their strengths and weaknesses. I really do think right now it's is a fair fight.

So many teams didn't get the job done and we did. Tourney will put us anywhere from 6-11. Can't wait!

Just keep taking care of our own business, and just keep winning. Everything else will sort it self out. So far that's what we've done. So just keep doing it.

I think the Bonnies still need to win their first game in the A10 Tournament to be assured of an NCAA bid. If the Bonnies earn a bid, I hope they are rewarded with a trip to someplace nice, California perhaps. It would be poor to have to play in the Northeast. Go west young men, go west!

If you're looking at it as a vacation, sure, sunny and warm is good. But in light of fan support and player familiarity with the arena, Brooklyn is ideal.

1000% agree. Brooklyn is our ideal spot in my opinion. Of course, I have seen us matched up against Seton Hall in at least one bracket, not sure what they would do to a potential home crowd for us.

The final seeding and where we play is far from determined. If we win 3 more, we're going to be seeded a lot higher than any of you are talking about.

I agree. If we win the A10 Tournament I could see us being seeded as high as a 6...maybe 5.
